Can I connect Excel, Amibroker, MetaTrader or TradingView?

Not directly. SAHI doesn't publish plugins or connectors for Excel, Amibroker, MetaTrader or TradingView, and we don't support third-party bridges. Anything that can make HTTPS requests can use the API, so you can connect these tools through your own code, for example a small Python or Node service that your platform calls and that places orders through the API from your registered static IP. The usual rules still apply: daily key approval, a static IP for orders, and no redistribution of market data (see Q49).
